Add an FEL?

DrPhil · 05-21-2008, 07:23 PM

This might be stupid question. I'm looking to buy my first tractor. Don't know a whole lot about them. I was looking for a used one with a FEL.

I have found a JD 5203 for a great price....but it doesn't have a FEL.

Can I add a FEL to this tractor?

Welcome to TBN

Sure you can add a loader to that, just make sure it has the hydraulics already installed(most JD's do)-if it has a joystick to the right of the seat you are in great shape. Expect to spend about $3500 to add one.

Thanks! I was hoping so.
